I took receipt of my new Corsair from Hobby City today,it arrived in very good condition directly from China,very well packed.

I took all the parts out,and thought I'd share a prelimanary look with you all,so you can see what you get/are getting into.

I like the scale outline of this model,the reason pretty much which made me decide to buy one.

The finish is 'okay' is the best description I can offer,about 7/10 marks,but am,all the same,happy with that.
A couple of minor issues, the pilot seat is doing it's own thing in there,and one aileron looks a little off the level, but both can be easily remedied.

To get this how I want it, I need to open up the battery compasrtment to take a 3s 2100,and I am not too sure about the motor,so might possibly be upgrading that too, but I'll try it first.

Overall, I'm very pleased with the model for the money,it looks good and is pretty big at 39" wingspan.

I won't be using the undercarriage at all,plus I probably will use a 2 blade prop rather than the(very nice looking) 3 blader supplied -well,two 3 bladers supplied actually!

I'd like to have got this unpainted,but might at some point,following testing in the air,sand and repaint,although the supplied finish is passable for now.

I won't be bothering with retracts at all, it will be a belly flopper,I'm sure it will look great in the sky!

I just wish they'd supply or offer the kit without paint for us modders,so yeah,I'll need to sand it all off and would prefer to cover with good ole silkspan and WBPU.

Stuart-I'm taking the stang into work tonight to paint the underwing stripes,will also use the pc and printer to check the print size.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll let you know!
Please email me your addres for the airbrush.

Anyone know what KV motors are supplied in these kits? I assume it's the same motor fitted to their Mustang?

800mZero This is how it's supplied,ARF, includes all servos and battery,motor,ESC.
I paid $87 from Hobby City, but think it has gone up in price a little since I ordered mine.

Could you show some pictures with details on the battery compartment mod? Looks like the smaller battery fits into the little hatch near the cowl. I'd be surprised if you could squeeze a larger battery through there.

At last a corsair that i could see! thanks Matt for the info and pic's .What size and pitch is the prop? standing by for flight report...yea good i dea to paint it later...where did they getr that color ....it can't be scale .

Could you bring the camera down to the front at fuse at eye level and take a picture of the plane with the wing on? I am concerned about where the touchdown points are going to be and the servos arms/controls horns when belly landing. Wing skids might be needed to keep from belly landing damage. She's pretty and if she flys great, looks to be a keeper.
